Risk factors for EP after natural conception (e.g., tubal surgery, previous EP, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility) have been well described 8, 9. Patients who undergo IVF often have a high number of these risk factors and also are at high risk for EP after natural conception; however, it is not clear that these risk factors have the same effect after treatment with IVF.
